Travis Fain & Laura Leslie, WRAL — North Carolina school boards won’t get a break from angry mask protests anytime soon. Twice in two days, House Republicans blocked efforts to undo a recently passed law that requires school boards to hold public votes every month on their masking policies. Most systems have a mask requirement in place to help stem transmission of coronavirus. But people angry over mask mandates have held rallies outside school board meetings, engaged in shouting matches and even damaged property. Some meetings have even had to be postponed or moved due to threats to members or their families.
